Preventive Dentistry
At a dental cleaning appointment we check the health of your gums, take necessary x-rays to help our doctor diagnose any conditions, and clean your teeth. Our hygienist and doctor will review the diagnostic data to determine what type of cleaning you need. Then our hygienist will clean your teeth and review home care techniques with you. Contact our office for dental cleanings in Batavia, IL. By scheduling your bi-annual dental visits, we can help ensure your teeth and gums remain healthy for longer.
Comprehensive dental examinations
Our dental exams go beyond just checking for cavities. We examine your teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues for early signs of problems. Using digital x-rays and advanced screening tools, we create a complete picture of your oral health to protect your smile for years to come.
Digital dental X-rays
Our digital x-rays provide clear images with 90% less radiation than traditional film. They detect cavities, infections, and bone loss that aren't visible during an exam. Quick results appear instantly on screen, allowing us to explain what we see and address any questions right away.
Professional teeth cleaning (prophylaxis)
Our professional teeth cleaning removes plaque and tartar that daily brushing can't reach. We polish away surface stains, leaving your teeth smooth and bright. Regular cleanings help prevent gum disease and decay while giving you that fresh, clean feeling that only comes from a dental visit.
Dental sealants
Dental sealants are thin protective coatings we apply to your teeth's chewing surfaces to block out bacteria and food particles. Perfect for children and adults with deep grooves in their molars, sealants provide a shield against decay for years. Simple, painless application keeps cavities away!
Fluoride treatments
Our quick fluoride treatments strengthen tooth enamel and fight decay. Applied as a gel, foam, or varnish after your cleaning, fluoride helps repair weak spots before cavities form. This simple, painless service protects both children and adults, reducing your risk of needing fillings in the future.
Oral cancer screenings
Regular oral cancer screenings can save lives. I check your mouth, lips, and throat for warning signs during your routine visits. Early detection means better treatment outcomes. Don't skip this quick, painless part of your dental checkup.
Home care education and instruction
I teach you how to properly care for your teeth at home. From brushing techniques and floss methods to product recommendations for your specific needs, I give you the tools to maintain a healthy smile between appointments. Good home care prevents problems and saves you money.
Nutritional counseling for oral health
I provide personalized diet advice to help your teeth and gums stay healthy. I explain which foods strengthen enamel, which cause decay, and how eating habits affect your smile. Small changes to what you eat can make a big difference in preventing cavities and gum disease.
Custom athletic mouthguards
I create custom mouthguards that fit perfectly to protect your teeth during sports. Unlike store-bought options, my custom guards offer better protection and comfort while allowing easy breathing and speaking during play. Prevent costly dental injuries with proper protection.
Nightguards for bruxism (teeth grinding)
I create custom nightguards to protect your teeth from grinding during sleep. These comfortable appliances prevent worn enamel, cracked teeth, jaw pain, and headaches. My precisely fitted guards last longer than store options and help you wake up pain-free. Stop damage before it starts.
Restorative Dentistry
I repair damaged teeth with fillings, crowns, bridges, and implants to restore your smile's function and beauty. My restorative treatments fix decay, cracks, and missing teeth using durable materials that match your natural tooth color. Regain confidence and comfort when you eat, speak, and smile.
Dental fillings (composite/tooth-colored)
I use natural-looking composite fillings that blend perfectly with your teeth. These durable, tooth-colored materials restore cavities without the metal appearance of amalgam. My precision technique repairs decay while preserving your healthy tooth structure and maintaining your all-white smile.
Inlays and onlays
I offer custom inlays and onlays when fillings aren't enough but crowns are too extensive. These precision-crafted porcelain restorations fit perfectly in your damaged tooth area, strengthening structure while looking completely natural. Stronger than fillings and more conservative than crowns.
Dental crowns
I restore damaged teeth with custom dental crowns that look and function like natural teeth. My crowns protect weak teeth, repair breaks, cover discoloration, and support bridges. Made from high-quality porcelain, they blend perfectly with your smile while providing lasting strength and protection.
Dental bridges
Our dental bridges fill gaps from missing teeth, restoring your smile and ability to eat and speak normally. These custom-made replacements anchor to neighboring teeth, preventing shifting and bite problems.
Root canal therapy
Root canal therapy saves teeth that would otherwise need extraction. We gently remove infected pulp, clean the canals, and seal them to prevent future infection. Modern techniques and anesthesia keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Most patients return to normal activities the next day.
Dentures (full and partial)
I create custom full and partial dentures to replace missing teeth. My natural-looking dentures restore your ability to eat, speak clearly, and smile with confidence. Crafted to fit comfortably and function properly, my dentures help maintain facial structure and improve quality of life.
Tooth extractions
I perform gentle tooth extractions when saving a tooth isn't possible. Using modern techniques and sedation options, I make the process comfortable and stress-free. I also discuss replacement options to restore your smile and prevent shifting of remaining teeth.
Post-operative care
I provide detailed instructions to ensure smooth healing after dental procedures. My post-operative care includes pain management strategies, dietary recommendations, and proper cleaning techniques. I'm available to answer questions and address concerns during your recovery for optimal results.
Pediatric Dentistry Services
I provide gentle, age-appropriate dental care for children from their first tooth through adolescence. My kid-friendly office makes dental visits fun while building good habits early. I focus on prevention, education, and creating positive experiences that lead to lifelong oral health.
Child dental exams
I offer friendly dental exams for children that build positive associations with dental care. My gentle approach includes checking growth, teaching proper brushing, applying fluoride, and spotting issues early. I make dental visits enjoyable while setting kids up for healthy smiles.
Pediatric dental cleanings
I provide gentle, thorough dental cleanings for children that remove plaque and prevent cavities. My kid-friendly approach includes showing them proper techniques, using flavored polish, and making the experience positive. Regular cleanings help establish healthy habits that last a lifetime.
Child-friendly fluoride treatments
I apply quick, painless fluoride treatments that strengthen children's teeth against cavities. Using kid-friendly flavors, I make this important protection enjoyable. These treatments provide extra defense for young teeth during cavity-prone years and take just minutes to complete.
Dental sealants for children
I apply thin protective coatings to your child's back teeth to prevent cavities where toothbrushes can't reach effectively. These quick, painless sealants create a shield against food and bacteria in deep grooves. This simple step can save your child from future fillings.
Space maintainers
I create custom space maintainers when children lose baby teeth early. These simple devices keep surrounding teeth from shifting into the gap, preserving room for permanent teeth to emerge properly. This prevents crowding, alignment issues, and potential need for braces later on.
Early orthodontic assessment
I evaluate children's developing teeth and jaws early to identify potential alignment issues. These quick assessments around age 7 can spot problems before they worsen, often leading to simpler, less expensive treatment. Early intervention can prevent the need for extensive orthodontics later.
Baby tooth extractions
I gently remove baby teeth when necessary for your child's dental health. Using child-friendly techniques and comfort measures, I make the process quick and stress-free. This procedure prevents infection, alleviates pain, and maintains proper space for permanent teeth to emerge correctly.
Pulp therapy for primary teeth
I provide gentle pulp therapy to save infected baby teeth and prevent premature loss. This procedure removes damaged tissue while keeping the tooth in place until it's ready to fall out naturally. Preserving baby teeth helps maintain proper spacing and guides permanent teeth into position.
Preventive education for parents
I guide parents on protecting their children's dental health with practical advice on brushing techniques, healthy foods, and cavity prevention. My tips help you establish good oral habits at home. Learn how to make dental care fun and effective for your child's growing smile.
Special Care Dentistry
I provide compassionate dental care for patients with special needs, medical conditions, or mobility challenges. My office is accessible with flexible scheduling and tailored approaches. I take time to understand your unique requirements and ensure comfortable, quality care.
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas)
I offer nitrous oxide to help anxious patients relax during dental procedures. This safe, mild sedation works quickly, wears off fast, and lets you drive yourself home afterward. You'll feel calm and comfortable while still being awake and able to respond during treatment.
Treatment for dental anxiety
I specialize in helping anxious patients feel comfortable during dental visits. My gentle approach includes clear communication, relaxation techniques, and sedation options tailored to your needs. I take extra time to ensure you feel in control and understand each step of your treatment.
Care for patients with special needs
I provide thoughtful dental care for patients with physical, cognitive, or sensory special needs. My office offers accessibility features and modified treatment approaches. I work closely with caregivers to create personalized plans that respect each patient's unique requirements.

My office offers convenient scheduling, mobility accommodations, and treatment modifications to keep your smile healthy throughout your golden years.
